Lovely. In December, when our baby daughter had a particularly nasty nonsleeping phase and I was spending late evenings with her tied to me, I was watching real-time videos from locomotive cockpits. Hundreds and hundreds kilometres of this: this. Also very soothing

So, Takaganja had to go, and now they're holding joint sessions, eh? I call double standards!

Would have expected Oshi Dame or something along those lines…

Ok, that explains why gambarization … uh, gambarizement … gambarizedom … er, gambarizehood … why the thing is so popular.

Although it's hard to compete/compare with Akebono, my pick for all-time letter A would be Aminishiki. (Can be put also under letter U )

@Yarimotsu: Thank you for the clarification.

This new haiku form Of Wakatakakage Is called WAKAIKU

Pardon my ignorance but can such a thing as a podcast be actually downloaded in, let's say, mp3 and put into an offline device? I don't use Spotify and I've never really understood what makes a podcast different from a "normal" audio recording. (A phonograph cylinder or a stone tablet would be even better, of course. I've somehow missed the advent of the new century in this respect…)

Think the shikona Of Wakatakakage Doesn't fit haiku?

I'd say, with his experience, Nakamura oyakata has become a fierce supporter of Adolf Loos' ideas

Oh man, you really have to feel for Tsurugishou. 6-9 at M16W, a break-in, and now covid

* Pavel was teaching Jiří. Otherwise the description is correct and the video is quite self-explanatory. Takanoyama's shiko isn't what it used to be, though…

Does this "kosho" make sense, though? To do something illegal and be given a free bahso to rest without any loss of rank?

So, next basho, I want Aoiyama to do a Terutsuyoshi and hop on the dohyo. Those giant flabs are gonna catch wind, and flap-flap-flap he flaps away…
